When you prepare during the winter time for a spring marathon I suggest to add 2 weeks of buffer for cases of catching a cold or even the flu.

Dr. Will slowly and slowly integrated into my YouTube feed, and I’m so glad he did! His YouTube videos are absolutely amazing, and I can’t believe he gives out so much info for free!! I just signed up for his unlimited plan, and am excited to start using his approach for a big marathon build this fall!!

Liked the realistic picture he is painting of the last 3 weeks, will definitely adapt my plan for some of the information given

Awesome video, thanks mate. Keep it up! Perfect level of depth for someone wanting to learn a bit more about the why rather than just mindlessly follow a training plan. Makes it much more enjoyable for the athlete and allows me to be more intentional in my training. Will be making some tweaks to my current training plan based on advice in here.

I've been following you for a while and treat your content like my little secret 😅. This is exactly what i needed to hear as I'm gearing up for a May training 21k race before prepping for an Oct marathon.<br><br>Quick question: in the base phase, how much attention would you recommend one to have for gym/strength workouts? If there are examples I'd appreciate if you shared some.

This is probably the best marathon training plan video out there! Great work Will! I'm running Valencia this year and this will surely help me on the way!

You’re the man!! Thank you a tons for making this. Been lost in my head about structuring my own plan for my first marathon. Didn’t want to hire a coach because I’ve done my own training for years and I don’t care to spend $300 on a coach to maybe improve my time just slightly if any.. <br>thank you thank you, keep up the good work this is amazing.

Tons of great info. In the middle of marathon prep now, but looking forward to being able to implement a lot of this for my next go around.

I have been raping my head around this training plan for weeks now, but it makes sense to me. Each phase leads to building up and the last phase consolidates the gains towards the race. 16 weeks fits my conditioning although I run year round. This is the most logical and well-managed plan I saw here, thank you.
